Who decides on an application?

Most planning applications are decided by our planning officers. However, if Council receives more than 5 objections, or if an application is considered to be significant, a decision about your planning application will be made at a Council meeting. These happen fortnightly and are attended by elected Councillors.

Appealing a decision

Details of the appeal procedures are set out on the back of the Notice of Decision to Grant a Planning Permit that you will receive. The closing date for appeals is 21 days after the date the responsible authority issues the notice.
